Lenses fungus???

Hi everyone, first of all sorry if i don't express myself very well bc i dont have a perfect english.
Now i gow ahead with my doubt, im about to buy a pentax p3 with 3 lenses for 45€, its about 55 dollars i think, anyway the case is that the lenses seem to be ok but im not sure if they have funguses or not.
i dont really care about the camera, just about the lenses because i want to adapt them to my actual camera.
I'll add the images the seller send me of the lenses and you guys/girls pls tell me if u think they have fungus or it is just that the lenses are dirty.
thank u all

I can't say about the other two but the 50mm lens seems to show signs of fungus.

A few tendrils of fungus no more effect on images than a few specks of dust. I can't tell from those pics whether there is fungus, or just not clean.

Ask the seller to look through the lenses to see if there is more extensive fungus in the lens.
